KaOroad Man Sayi Korfolk Southern
Cannot Afford te Leave' Concord
.- Off the Mala Us. ;
Mr. Morrison H. Caldwell,' for a
gggilm of y.sre a member of t'; lo
cal bar, and at one tint a leading pro-
tnoter-ot road from here to Moore
eoonly, is a visitor hers today. Mr.
Caldwell was until recently prei-
dent of the Jiandolph and Cumber -
land Railroad in Moore eountv. and
is, thoroughly familiar with the pro
posed routes of the Korfolk South
era. In in interview with a repre
sentative of this - psper today Mr.
Caldwell made the following state
ment concerning the proposed routes:
"Several years ago when identiBed
.with the Moore County, ft Western J J
looKNip me ngnis oi wsy irom von-
cord to Pee Doe river via Georgeville, ;
Locust Level and Norwood. Ths sur-
vey wss made by H. L. Thurston, a I
competent engineer. From inspection, :
tho
route I anv familiar with the country
between Mt. Oilead : and . Locust
Level. - " .. ' V'"-' ' ' '
While endeavoring to build a rail
" road from Concord to Troy I person
ally conducted Mr. A. N. Walesworth,
a prominent engineer, formerly con
nected with the Canadian Pacific,
over the line, from Concord to, Mt.
Pleasant, thence to Albemarle and on
to Troy. We used an aneroid barom
eter and. made note of the levels all
along the way. Leaving the present
line ofthe Aberdeen & Ashboro at
Vestal, three miles this side of Troy,
Mr. Walesworth located a very cheap
line to Uwharrie river, one mile above
the mouth. Thenee the line went
through a dip in the hills to the Yad-
hl iitai atutva tliA Iava folia TPpftlTi
kiss JUOI eiwiv V SVOVB MIIH rmm
-that point to Albemarle was easy
grade. From Albemarle to Mt. Pleas-
ant was the heaviest grade, but it
was no worse than we found near
' Rocky Bjver Springs. From the
above investigation of the two lines,
1 think Concord may safely disregard
the rumors ihat the Norfolk Southern
will go from Jlit. Oilead to Charlotte
and leave Concord off the main line.
I am satisfied that via Albemarle and
Concord is the cheaper route, and
even if it were to eost $200,000 more
the owners of the Norfolk Southern
could not afford. to .miss f .Concord.
''Having spent more than two millions
in the purchase of existing lines, and
being' backed by ample capital, it is
certain that they will come 'to" Con
cord, city that is the biggest town
with only one railroad in the
South."

to Mr. E. C. Duncan:
- Concord, N.JO, Feb. 27, 1912.
Mr. E. C. Duneal,
' Raleigh, N. C. '
Dear air: Our people are extremely
wrought up over a report that is gain
ing ground to ths effect that Concprd
is to be on a branch line of the Nor
folk Southern Railroad instead of
on the trunk line, as was the agree
ment made with you and your repre
sentatives when you called on us for
the purpose of securing a right of
way and out of this city.
It scarcely seems reasonable that
yon would leave a city of so much im
portance out, or give us branch line
connections, the extension of the
Norfolk Southern; but in the face of
such rumors we would apperciate a
word from yon' on the subject.
Please let us hear from you in re
gard la this matter, be it for or
against us, but we sincerely hope that
the reports thst are being circulated
are only rumors.
; Yours very truly,

Storms of Rain or Snow Predicted
for Week.
Washington, February 25. Two
storms of rain or snow, or both, are
predicted to cross the country this
week,' says the weekly bulletin of the
weather bureau.
A disturbance central today in the
Southwest will advance to the Ohio
-Valley on Monday and move to the
St. Lawrence Valley. It wiH be at
tended by general precipitation, over
the Mississippi Valley and the region
east, the precipitation being in the
form of rain in southern and snow
and rain in Northern States.
This disturbance will be followed
by a change to colder weather over
all districts east of the Rocky Moun
tains, but it will be of short duration,
and it is probable that rising temper
ature will overspread to Plains States
on Tuesday and the eastern half of
the cofiiitry by the muldle of the
week.
' The next disturbance to. cross the
country will appear in thIfat West,
on Wednesday or Thursday, cross the
Middle West about Friday and the
Eastern States near the close of the
week. It probably will 'be attended
by general rains, although snows are
likely in Northern Mates.
Generally fair weather, with mod
erate' temperature, will prevail dur
ing the week., on the Pacific slope,
with the exception that rams will set
in over the North Pacific States on
Tuesday or .Wednesday.

Wright drove up into the yard, tied

five dollars' worth of whiskey. Probst
asked if it was as good as that he
bought Sunday night Wright re

At this junction the officers came
out from their hiding place, Chief
